    I just got my new issue of Hot Rod magazine today. I was flipping through it and saw this incredible '69 camaro. That car had the exact same attitude I wanted in my car. Everything from the racing inspired interior to the wheels to the front spoiler. I want these things for my maverick and still be street legal. What I'm getting at is how do i acquire a front spoiler? How much are alot of these modifications going to cost me, interior and exterior? My idea is to have better suspension, brakes, and a more appealing look overall. I would like everything just to be modernized and not have thiry year old parts on my favorite car.

    Thanks

    The modifications will be expensive because no one makes the stuff for Mavericks that they do for the Camaros. Mustang brake and engine stuff will work for you, but that's about it. You can get a front spoiler for around $80 or so (search the board - lots of threads on that). Other than the front spoiler, there is not too much stuff that you can buy for the Maverick body, so you are left with having it custom made or making if yourself. Either way it costs money. The same with the interior. With almost nothing being reproduced, you would need to have produced, or produce for yourself the custom parts you desire....

    Search around on here for pictures of Thomas Hackmann's car.
    All it takes is a lot of time, money and busting your butt and you can do anything.
